text-mode UTF-8 editor

[towo@computer.org]

I'd like to point the participants of this mailing list to my editor 
 http://www.inf.fu-berlin.de/~wolff/mined-utf.html

It runs in text mode, e.g. in xterm, and handles all combinations 
of Latin-1 or UTF-8 text files and terminal modes.

By default, it applies auto-recognition for UTF-8 (and also UTF-16) encoding.

The internal format is that of the original file (except for UTF-16 which 
is converted to UTF-8).
UTF-8 interpretation accepts illegal UTF-8 sequences transparently and 
does not destroy their information.
Latin-1/UTF-8 interpretation can be switched while editing.

It provides encoding display (UTF-8 sequence and UCS value) on request 
and mnemonic and hexadecimal UCS input support.

I would like to add mixed-width support as soon as I get a terminal which 
offers it (planned for xterm, said to be available for "kterm"?); I had 
already implemented mixed-width support for Chinese encoding on cxterm 
a while ago.
